  I have been trying to use my gmail account to send out my blog, but I can’t get the email link to work. Can you help me with this? I’ve followed the directions, but I must be missing a step (or two)

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If I’m understanding your question, you’d like to make people aware of your blog via email. You can do this a couple of ways:

  1) Physically email people on your email list your blog address (http://millmansquash.wordpress.com/) or email whenever there’s a new post.

  2) Use Subscribe2 – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subscribe2/

  Let me know if I’m misunderstanding. Best of luck.

  Please ignore any references to plugins as there is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we cannot isntall plugins. They are for WordPress.org installs only.

  I’ve used the support instructions, but how do I get my email distributed to ALL of my google contacts?
